Hello, astronauts! :)
We kind of replaced Dobby (db-control) with something else,
that also answers previously asked question:
"How do we hide oracle id without sudo'ing to it?"
Well, here is a new tool, called SMDBA and the source code is
right here: https://github.com/SUSE/smdba
It supports Oracle and PostgreSQL transparently (set of commands
differs though), does not need any configuration like Dobby needs,
detects what DB is around automatically and with our SUSE Manager works
right after the installation.
It is written in Python as a wrapper for SQL*Plus, RMAN, psql and other
tools, it needs no DBI drivers and has no particular dependencies other
than sudo package, since the whole access is controlled there.
Some differences from Dobby:
- It is intentionally *incompatible* with Dobby.
- "extend" command has been dropped.
- backups are now performed on hot database running.
- supports Oracle and PostgreSQL.
- MIT license.
Near future going to bring the following new features:
- Full automated control on audit trail logs and translation logs.
- Fully automated disk space monitoring with output to external UI.
- Complete integration through API, so the tool itself supposed to
get "dissolved" and never used anymore in the console directly.
So take a look and tell what you think! :)
Interesting. I'm going to try and review myself (if I get time in next
few days).
